If people want to look back on my threads just search my username Michael-M for a full understanding.
But Im back here again for some support.
Ive tried stopping about 5 times now, accumulated about 14k of debt and cleared it all!! but now again I see myself back in debt (around 2.5-3k) and gambling.
I don't actually understand why I do it tbh. I do extra work on the side to try and clear it off and start rebuilding my life, but as soon even that money goes in, I straight to the bookies within 24 hours!
It makes me feel sick thinking about it, but I honestly don't know why I do it!
Is it that feeling of when you get a big win? Or is it because im desperate for a big win to sort my life out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, but i'll hopefully start tomorrow gamble, as today I gambled (Extra work money)
Thanks in Advance.
Hiya Michael
Why do we do it is always the burning question for me it is a level of acceptance that could happen in the future it really is about how we deal with it when it does
Likewise I'm on 5 relapses in 2 and half years of trying I look at the big picture where I was to where I am now and that helps as real progress has been made , yourself progress heaps been made you had 14k of debt and now only 3 yes there are negatives within that but try and concentrate on the positives
We will never be perfect but keep trying and never give up
I wish you well on this roller coaster of a journey

I understand Michael I have just been there I had to keep going until it was out of my system , it all comes down to choices and only you can make them , each bet will drain that strength the worst thing that can happen is to win it will just prolong it even more that I can assure you
For me it's more of a mental battle than a financial one the way it takes over my head is awful I think of nothing else other than gambling 24/7 I just went 9 months without a bet and life was so much better
Yes why do we do it
I hope you can find the strength remember no one is here to judge just support

Yea I see what you mean. I do partly do it for the financial benefit. But my social life has now gone aswell. One maybe because I haven't got the money and two as im sure you know, I just want to be alone when ive lost, which has pushed my mates away.
Don't give up my friend I fully understand and many others on here will as well , one day at a time be kind to yourself
Full credit for you for posting as this place is my last thoughts whilst gambling today it's my salvation and always has been
